EXTREME BROADBAND’S FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR WONG WENG YEW IS DRIVEN TO IMPROVE MALAYSIA’S INTERNET SPEEDS.
Though it’s rapidly advancing, Malaysia’s internet infrastructure still has room to grow. In 2017, Malaysia ranked 62nd in a ‘State of the Internet’ report from cloud service provider Akamai based on its global survey. It’s down to the slow speed and high cost of internet services in Malaysia, though the same report also showed a 40 per cent annual increase in speed. Into this gap has valiantly stepped Extreme Broadband (EBB), fronted by Founder and Managing Director Wong Weng Yew. EBB, a long-term provider of broadband services across Malaysia, has embarked upon its latest venture – an internet exchange in Johor Bahru, the first in Malaysia’s second-largest city.
“Leveraging its strategic location, Johor Bahru Internet Exchange (JBIX) aims to attract regional and global players to come to Malaysia to partake in the creation of an open connectivity ecosystem,” says Weng. “With JBIX, content owners can exchange traffic easily and enterprises can connect to cloud infrastructure directly. This leads to more connectivity choices and options for end users. With this comes more competition, greater demand for telco services and lower prices for end users.”
